Are you feeling a little extra weight on your shoulders with this upcoming school year?Whatever schooling looks like for you this year - we hope this episode will uplift you and encourage you in the thick of it. There are so many schooling options out there, and guess what? - There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.Each decision we make as parents leads to a different path, and there are lessons to be learned in all of it. In this episode, we share about our schooling experiences and how we take our kids’ input into consideration when we are decision-making, navigating relationships with our kids, and following our gut as parents.Ultimately, if we are intentional about how we parent our children, they will be just fine! We have a tendency as parents to overthink things, but the key is to follow our hearts and trust God to sort out the rest. Don’t forget - you are in control. You are the parents, and you have their best interests at heart.  Above it all - your influence & involvement in their life will have more impact on them than anything else.Episode Highlights: Schooling looks different for everyone.Involving our kids in decision-making.Our reason for homeschooling and the benefits we’ve loved.Don’t be afraid to follow your gut.You just have to get in their world.It’s never to late to work on your relationship with your kids.You are in control.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Ryan and Shannon:Follow Shannon on InstagramFollow Ryan on InstagramVisit Shannon’s WebsiteThis show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.Send us Fan Mail
